ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical instrument providing continuous cybernetic tone finding controlled by functions of the human mouth. The instrument includes a mouthpiece into which air is to be blown from the mouth of a player having a measuring apparatus at least partially mounted therein. The measuring apparatus includes an arrangement for producing a pitch determining signal representing a measure of the mouth cavity of the player and a volume determining signal representing the velocity or pressure of the air blown into the mouthpiece. Tone generating apparatus is provided for generating a tone signal whose frequency varies with the level of a control signal applied thereto with a control signal being applied to the tone generating apparatus in accordance with the pitch determining signal and having a level representing a measure of the mouth cavity of the player. Another control signal in accordance with the volume determining signal serves for controlling the output of the tone generating apparatus with the output being converted to sound.
